Lyrics

Dreamin', dreamin', groovin',
If you know what I mean, it's movin' on the scene, alright?
*Make the bumping, quit the whining,
Make the moving with the dance hall king.
Wadadadekodo wadadanding,
Churip pip pip pip pip pipiboskin,
Trinda yo, she's a friend of mine,
Catch up your own, if your body's of size.
Know every size and ship on stamina,
To make it all look cool and bubbly wine,
Rational ma boy.
*repeat
Atilla dis, atilla dat,
Just let me go out there and I'll perform my act.
*repeat
Atilla dis, atilla dat,
I couldn't go away because you called me a BOY!
Don't shimmy chop, don't shimmy rock,
Yes, Mr. Fritz, when the lyric man shops.
Wadadading wadadanding,
Churip pipipipipipipiboskin,
No no, churipipum, ripiboskin,
Wadadadadadadadadadadadadading,
Me no see doh see doh, me no see doh see doh...
Me no see doh see doh...
Boy, I'm telling you these swankers,
I don't rumple and jump on your onboard soul.
*repeat
Boomshakadok, pop it in the frock,
Listen to this song in bed watch the clock.
*repeat
Crying now, why are you trying to live a lie,
Just never forget you are a good friend of mine.
*repeat
Atilla dat,
I couldn't go away because you called me a BOY!

Song Connections / Remixes

MAKE A JAM! is an extended rearrangement of the KONAMI "walking" logo jingle, heard in Japanese PlayStation games from 1994 to late 1998, before KONAMI changed their logo from being in an Italic font to a bold one in November 1998. This is most notable in the very beginning and ending of the song.

MAKE A JAM! received a Double BEGINNER chart and a slightly different banner in DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX2.

MAKE A JAM! is one of the few Yuichi Asami songs that was removed from the arcade DanceDanceRevolution series and was never revived for a long time. According to Yuichi himself in 2012, reviving the song would be "difficult".

Despite of this, MAKE A JAM! could be unlocked in REFLEC BEAT groovin'!! Upper as part of the BEMANI MUSIC FOCUS' CONTENTS SELECTION unlocking system.

It was later revived on the DanceDanceRevolution series in DanceDanceRevolution A, marking its first appearance in an arcade DanceDanceRevolution game in 14 years.

MAKE A JAM! appears on the movie Grandma's Boy.

MAKE A JAM! was over 16 years old when it made its debut in REFLEC BEAT groovin'!! Upper, making it have the widest gap between its debut and it being a crossover in a new BEMANI game to date.

MAKE A JAM! is unlockable in DanceDanceRevolution A from August 8th, 2016, as part of the BABY-LON'S ADVENTURE (バビロン アドベンチャー) event. It is unlocked by clearing WORLD 1.

Despite being a revival, it is listed on the DanceDanceRevolution A folder instead of the DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX folder.

It also received a new BEGINNER chart, replacing its old chart.

Several parts of MAKE A JAM!'s new BEGINNER and BASIC charts are based on the KONAMI Code (↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A).
